Melissa Wright returns as your full-time school counselor this year. Prior to this role, she worked as a school counselor in the Greater Atlanta area and Karns Elementary here in Knox County.

Bobbi Walker joins the FPS School Counseling department this year. She hails from Missouri where she taught and counseled students in elementary school for 20+ years. We appreciate the level of expertise she brings to our program. She works on Wednesdays.

Our school is very child-centered, and our staff loves having the privilege of working with our primary-aged students, helping them learn and grow and have some fun along the way! May this be a happy and productive year for every single one of our students! If your child exhibits difficulties that interfere with school success, please let me know. I'll be glad to help! My number at school is 865-671-5027, and my e-mail address is melissa.wright2@knoxschools.org.
